Her Brother's Keeper
A CatCo Magazine exclusive by Kara Danvers
Photos by James Olsen//
“Now,” Lena says, physically pushing her keyboard away on her desk, as though trying to distance herself from the temptation to keep working. “What can I do for you?”
Anyone who has met Lena is familiar with these words. They are her go-to greeting; practiced, polite, and most importantly, meant in earnest. A thesis statement: Lena Luthor wants to help.

hold on, my love (i'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye) by boringcereal

Summary
The cottage is nicely lit, is the first thing Lena notices. It’s quaint, if a little rickety, but it’s nothing she can’t fix. She can already picture it now: gardens with flowers and nice, long days reading out on the porch.
Lena knows that sooner or later, someone is going to track her down. To demand something of her, maybe. But for now, she breathes in the crisp air. Basks in the warmth of golden rays of sunlight that peek out from behind distant mountains, the ones that signal the incoming morning. Feeling lighter already, she adjusts the duffel bag she has slung over her shoulder, hesitating for just a moment, before she takes a step toward the inviting building.
Her new home.
OR
Lena finds healing, slowly but surely.

strange happenings (aka Lena's patience being tested over and over again) by boringcereal

Summary
Lena would be thrilled, over the damn moon, if whatever is causing these inconvenient disruptions would quit it already and just come out and tell her what it wants from her. She has things to do, a billion-dollar company to run, and a single person she’s not trying to stop thinking about. She’s just tired, okay?
Because she’s currently sitting cross-legged, hands gripping her ankles, waiting for Supergirl to come pick her up. From her position. In the fucking sky.
OR
Mxyzptlk helps Kara and Lena find their way back to each other, one weird prank at a time.

Summary
They meet on a Friday, which is the perfect day for a life to change.
Fridays are always wrought with happy anticipation. They taste like freedom and have the unmistakable shimmer of potential. They’re deviations from the norm -- a cheat day gift wrapped at the end of a hard week. They’re pizza parties and happy hours and staying out late. Even for Lena Luthor, a Friday is a more hopeful occasion than any other day in her little life.
OR
Kara and Lena meet as children and grow up together; a series in 8 parts up through present day (+ Epilogue). Lena's POV. Pre-canon, then following canon themes with my own spin/twist :) NOT a strict retelling of any season but you'll recognize lines, and characters, and other easter eggs. Slowburn, but there are treats within. Happy ending because I am NOT a monster and Lena Luthor deserves better. You'll just have to be patient with me ;)

Summary
Kara’s eyebrows shoot up to her hairline. “Really?”
“Well try not to sound so shocked Ms. Danvers.”
“Actually it’s Zor-El,” Kara says and suddenly her back is straighter, she’s carrying herself with an almost regal air that’s not quite Supergirl and definitely not the clumsy reporter. Lena almost pouts when Kara jumps to her feet and extends a hand to her. “Kara Zor-El of Krypton.”
Lena smiles, stands with one crutch tucked under her armpit and allows a warm and powerful hand to engulf hers with a tenderness she didn’t know possible. “Lena Luthor of Earth.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” Kara grins.
Lena rolls her eyes but dammit she’s grinning too. “Dork.”

Summary
Kara Danvers loved sleep and Alex teased her about it relentlessly.
But there were nights when she couldn’t sleep. Nights that were plagued with images of her parents; of explosions, and of her home planet fading into the distance as her pod flew away.
And on those nights she would find refuge in her sister’s arms. She’d fly in through the window that Alex always left open and shake the brunette softly until she opened her eyes. But tonight was different. Tonight she hovered outside Alex’s apartment, staring at the closed window that had greeted her like a slap in the face. Tonight she was alone.OR
When Alex becomes preoccupied with her new relationship, Supergirl turns to Lena for late night solace.

Summary
The creation of HOPE saves Lena.
It saves her from plunging over the edge into complete darkness; it saves her the trouble of tracking down the real Supergirl and giving her a fist to the face that would undoubtedly hurt Lena more than her, and it gives Lena an outlet for all of the seething, acidic misery that coils like a parasite in her chest and leeches her of her emotional fortitude.
HOPE gives her a companion, however much an AI can stand in for human connection.Lena relies on HOPE. Perhaps a little too much.

Summary
“What’s your real name?” Lena whispers.
“My name,” Supergirl says, shaking and fragmented like the words are splintering as soon as they pass her lips, “is Kara Zor-El. You-- you know me,” she clutches to herself to keep upright, barely able to trace the outline of Lena through the blood and tears that blur her vision and then streak freely down her cheeks, “as Kara Danvers.”

Summary
It isn’t The Wizard of Oz that pierces through whatever walls Kara has placed around her heart, nor is it Singing In The Rain, or even West Side Story. No, it’s Oklahoma! that blindsides her, leaves her sobbing into her throw pillow until her voice disappears and she’s too exhausted to move to her bed.
She can’t figure out why a story set in the time of farmhands and cowboys could make her think of Lena in any way until she rewatches it.
And oh. Oh, she finally gets it now.
Kara hears the words being sung and is reminded of the fact that after everything, Lena still doesn’t have the full story.
Lena had accused her of having ulterior motives, of wanting to be close to her out of selfishness, of being too cowardly to ever take a real leap of faith. She isn’t all that wrong. Kara’s alter ego may be out in the open now for Lena to see, but that doesn’t mean Kara isn’t still hiding behind some lies.
The fact that she’s fallen in love with Lena Luthor accidentally along the way is the only secret she’s got left.
AKA, Kara watches an old movie, realizes what's been in front of her this whole time, and somehow, finds her way back to where her heart has made its home.

Summary
It’s been a month since she found out.
It’s been a month, and in that time, Lena hasn’t stopped trying to not think about it. In that time, she’s probably gone through the five stages of grief ten times over. In that time, Lena has just—stopped working. Her CPU has crashed and burned and flung itself off a fucking mountain cliff but the memory unit is somehow still intact and she just Can Not seem to forget.
And she’s tried, okay? Tried drowning herself in work, tried her luck at yoga, even ramped up her already high alcohol intake. Tried every trick in the book that would get her to stop thinking about Kar—no, she doesn’t even know a Kara anymore. About Supergirl.
(All those, even altogether, worked maybe barely.)
Or: Kara lies to Lena, Lena lies to Kara, Lena lies to herself and Kara really just wants it all to stop so she can have her Lena back.

Summary
There’s a fucking rose on the back of Lena’s neck.
The lighting in the tower bathroom is harsh, sure, and unflattering, yes, but the good thing about the fluorescent glare is that it provides decent enough illumination for any number of activities: patching up wounds, reading in relative silence, and, of course, investigating mysterious burning tattoos on the back of one’s neck.
And Lena is sure—certain, in fact—that the mark sitting right below her hairline, taunting pink against the paleness of her skin, is a rose, in the exact same swirling pattern as the love totem.
So that’s not ideal, really.
.
The love totem is destroyed, but its essence lives on. And that essence seems to have found a new home—the back of Lena's neck. Luckily, she has Kara to help her figure out who she's in love with. Kara, who seems prepared to guess that the subject of Lena's affection is just about anyone but herself.

Summary
“Lena! Hey!” Kara’s voice comes pouring through the phone, and Lena feels her shoulders relax. “I was actually just about to call you. What’s up?”
It’s funny, Lena thinks then, how the knots in her chest ease around Kara. Her world has always been full of uncertainties, fleeting moments of happiness snatched away when she gets too comfortable. But with Kara, it feels stable, less lonely, like maybe one day she could allow herself to breathe, if Kara’s around.
“Oh yeah?” Lena can’t help but smile, pressing the phone closer to her ear as if it’ll help her absorb some of Kara’s warmth. “I was just going to ask if you wanted to come over for a movie night this weekend, I, um—” Lena pauses, rubbing her free hand over her sternum, “I could use the company.”
“Oh, that’s... kind of why I’m calling, actually,” Kara says, then falters. It’s soft, and it’s hesitant, and Lena’s shoulders sag, but then— “Alex and I are going to Midvale for a few days, and I thought maybe you’d like to come.”
———
Or, in order to starting moving on from a year of fighting phantoms, evil imps, and psychopathic brothers, sometimes you just need a little love.

Summary
Lena slides off of her stool, throwing self-preservation to the wind and flinging the door open without looking through the peephole first.
Kara’s wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a sweatshirt Lena vaguely remembers borrowing in what feels like another lifetime. Her hands are in her pockets and her head is dipped forward, but her eyes are looking up at Lena, and there’s an air of uncertainty to her that Lena hasn’t seen in nearly a year. It steals the breath from her lungs and the words from her mouth, and her lips part wordlessly as they watch each other across the threshold.
“Hi,” Kara says softly.
Her weight shifts to rest unevenly on one leg as she looks at Lena, and Lena remembers how easy it was to talk to her, once.

Summary
Lena’s eyes fell to Kara’s lips, losing the war within her to fight this. Kara wants this. Kara wants this! Lena glanced up again, taking in Kara’s vulnerable and hopeful smile, knowing that the kryptonian could hear the newfound pounding of her heart.
Kara breathed again. “And sometimes, I think you might want me too.”
“Kara…” Lena whispered, unmoving.
“Can I kiss you, Lena?” Kara asks, the gentle blues of her eyes piercing into Lena’s.
But that’s when Lena saw it. The flicker in Kara’s veins.

Summary
With the new L Corp space station needing to be tested Lena decides to leave her company in Sam’s capable hands so she can spend a year doing it. And more importantly enjoy a year not worrying about people trying to kill her. Two birds, one stone really.
There’s just one small problem with her plan; it means she’s spending the whole year alone, on a space station, with her every move recorded and shared live to the world by a poorly programmed droid.
Watch Lena struggle to maintain her cold Luthor reputation while she yells profanities at a goat, lavishes affection on a cat, goes through what she insists on calling a “grunge” phase, keeps accidentally letting slip how sex starved she is, and desperately tries not to let on how madly in love with her best friend and only visitor she is.

Threats of violence towards a goat. Nothing bad happens to the goat despite Lena’s many murderous urges. She just REALLY hates it.- Language:

Summary
“Time is on my side, mother,” Lex replied, reaching for his bishop.
“So you can guarantee to me,” Lillian said evenly, “That if the alien comes to Lena with those sad puppy dog eyes, it won’t tug at a single one of Lena’s many irritating heartstrings?”
Lex glanced up from the chessboard. “Are you recommending something, or is this yet another attempt to get me to leave the kryptonian alone?”
“Neither,” Lillian replied. “You’re a clever boy, you’ll figure something out. All I’m saying is that, if you want to permanently drive Lena away from the alien, the alien would have to do something unforgivable.”
